Why We Are Here!

Last Sunday night, we had the opportunity to minister at a small four-square church in Asunción. The people in this church are hungry for a move of God. They have been praying for over a year for God to bring a spiritual renewal and revival to Asunción. They have asked us to bring the drama, "Heaven's Gates and Hell's Flames," to their church. On July 4th, we will meet at their church and show the DVD of the drama, select the cast, and begin one month of fasting and praying for lives to be changed by the love of Jesus Christ. 

During the service, one of the pastors announced that they will be continuing the prayer for the drama outreach on this Thursday evening. I asked them how long they had been praying for the drama. They informed me that they started praying two weeks ago. I was so impressed and humbled by the faith of this small church. I really believe that God is going to honor their prayers and commitment to bring revival to their church and to Asunción. Would you pray with us that God will bring revival to Paraguay? This nation is ready for change. They so need what we offer. Many here are looking for something, but they will never be satisfied until they accept Jesus.

The only reason we are here in Paraguay is to tell people about Jesus. Yes, there are many ways that we do this, and there are more ways that we can. However, the main objective is to show them who Jesus really is, and that He loves them and wants to save them. Sometimes, we can lose our focus and forget why we are here. I was reminded, again, of why we are here on this planet last Sunday night. It is the small, simple things that God uses to show us how much He loves the unsaved, and how much He desires that everyone comes to know and believe in His Son.

Blessings to you all,
Charley
